Cooling

Speedway Motors wants to make sure your T-Bucket stays as cool as it looks! Our T-Bucket aluminum radiators and short water pumps will keep the temperature down while you cruise the town. Top it off with a polished radiator cap, dog bone cap, winged radiator cap, cooling fan, and fan shroud. Give your T-Bucket a vintage look with a Model T motor meter and Model T filler neck. Speedway also offers all the radiator hoses, pulley spacers, and support brackets needed to complete the job.

Help your engine keep cool by adding an electric cooling fan to your radiator. Electric fans are far more efficient than mechanical engine driven fans because they free up horsepower and only run when you want them to (when used with a fan controller, not included). Plus, most electric fans can be mounted ahead of the radiator or behind the radiator, with the more efficient location being on the engine side of the radiator.

Choose your size diameter (10", 12", 14", 16")

CFM Ratings per size:

10" - 800 CFM

12" - 1000 to 1100 CFM

14" - 1200 to 1300 CFM

16" - 1750 to 1850 CFM

Note: These fan CFM ratings are based on 13 volt input (normal for auto voltage) and on variance in motors used. Some fans may run better than others depending on your specific application.

Whether you're installing original Flathead water pumps or Speedway's all-new redesigned pumps, you'll need fresh gaskets to seal them to the block. These gaskets are for 1949-1953 Ford Flathead V8 water pumps. Sold as a pair.

Looking for a durable way to protect your hoses or wires from excessive heat? If so, this thermal sleeve is sure bet. It features a soft knitted fiberglass interior that won't chafe which is coated with a thick layer of silicone. When combined, the materials will withstand 500°F of continuous heat, or 2000°F for a short duration. The sleeving is even designed to shed sparks while resisting hydraulic fluids and lubricating oil. Exposure to open flames will char the silicone coating but won't scorch the fiberglass inner layer.

Great for electrical wires, cables and fluid lines. Available in 3/4", 1" & 2" I.D. sizes and each is sold by the foot.

These Dog Bone caps are a reproduction of an original aftermarket accessory that were available during the Model T era. These cast chrome caps have a hole drilled in them for use with Jr. Moto-Meters and are 6-1/2” long. The Dog bone style makes removing your radiator cap easier by giving you a more convenient area to grip and to twist turn the hot cap, as the arms are outboard and they cool off in the air. Many people like using it to add some style to your Model T.

Fits 1909-1927 Ford Model T radiators

Screws into stock filler necks

6-1/2" long (end to end)

Drilled for Motor Meters

Chrome finish

Speedway's adjustable water pump is tried, tested and true. It has great flow, superior quality and standard features that are typically only available on water pumps costing twice as much. State-of-the-art aluminum casting and a precision impeller provide equal flow to both cylinder banks. If you're using a cog belt on your race car, this is the pump you want since it's adjustable. The 1/2" mount holes in this pump are larger than normal, allowing it to be moved up or down slightly to help with belt tension.
